What to expect on retreat
Retreats give us the opportunity to go deeper into our practice than we can in daily life and to cultivate stillness and silence in a more profound way.
None of the yoga or meditation sessions are compulsory, so it is possible to practice at whatever pace suits you. Practices include asanas, Spinal Breathing Pranayama, Deep Meditation and Samyama. There are also Satsang sessions, which are an opportunity to ask questions on yoga and to gain an understanding of yogic philosophy.
Unless a retreat is marked as “intermediate” or “advanced”, no previous experience of yoga is necessary to come on a retreat, as all the practices will be taught whilst you are there.
All food on retreat is vegetarian and other special diets such as vegan or gluten free etc. can be catered for if you let us know in advance.

Retreat feedback from past retreats
“The whole retreat was beautiful. The practises were easy to follow and had a really powerful effect. By the end of the weekend I felt like I'd done some really deep energetic work and feel inspired to continue a regular meditation practise. Tristan and Amandine were really laid back, knowledgable and kind. The food cooked by Sally was amazing - perfect nourishment! And the location was just wonderful, so many lovely walks, places to swim in the river, and to hear the brook from my bedroom at night was very relaxing. Thank you!!” (Amy Glanville, United Kingdom)
“Tristan was excellent, a genuine person, I arrived frazzled and stressed, I left feeling I have been very fortunate to have found this way of yoga and meditation which suited me very well. I even was introduced to a teacher who lives close by so I can continue a weekly class.” (Suzy Maxwell, United Kingdom)
“This was my first AYP yoga retreat. I really enjoyed it, instruction from both instructors was good and clear, vegetarian and vegan food was amazing by the cooking fairy :) Workshop was good and helped me understand more about AYP yoga. Will definitely go back." (Bev Pinnell, United Kingdom)
“What a great retreat… , it was intensive but very beautiful for the soul. The practitioners were from all walks of life, reminding me that seekers are all around us, if we only open our hearts to ask or smile. The food was exceptional, the place stunning and peaceful . It will remain with me forever and I took many teachings away with me. There is a great fellowship in practicing together with a worthy teacher. I would encourage anybody to attend at whatever point you are at in your path.” (Sujata Mathurs, United Kingdom)
“I just wanted to thank you deeply for everything you taught me, in words and in conduct. Our time in Ireland was unforgettable, and a real leap forward in my realisation….” (C.B., United Kingdom)
“I just wanted to thank you for yet another lovely retreat weekend. It really helps to keep me on track and motivated in my practice. I feel blessed to have found a true teacher, and the opportunity to take time out to deepen my practice with a great group of people. Your wonderful work inspires and encourages those around you…” (V.H. , Ireland)
“What a wonderful retreat! I am so pleased that I came and that I met you...
I loved the approach and the whole feel of it.” (S.B., United. Kingdom.)
